Welcome
The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum, education, and research complex. We are a community of learning and the opener of doors. Join us on a voyage of discovery and explore and learn online.
Visit
As we gradually reopen the museums, we’re putting safety first and requiring free timed-entry passes. See our reopening schedule to plan your visit. Outdoor gardens and exhibitions are open.
Even when we are closed, you can visit us from home. Learn how Smithsonian cares and explore our digital resources, including online events, exhibitions, and podcasts. You can also find curated museum-inspired gifts at our online store.
